The new Lancer is based on the same platform as the Outlander (another rally inspired vehicle), and features a 2.0L MIVEC inline-4 engine delivering 152 hp @ 6000 RPM and 146 ft-lb of torque @ 4250 RPM. The California models are modified to meet the PZEV emissions and deliver slightly less power at 143 hp. The engine block is made from aluminum and has dual-overhead cams. The GTS version includes many more of the luxury accessories, and includes body trim modifications including: 18" 10-spoke aluminum rims, a rear spoiler, a chrome tail pipe, and front-side air dams to reduce lift.
